Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in Brussels, 2010-2013.
years after the realization of initial prospective population-based molecular epidemiology investigations in this Region, a similar study over the period 2010-2013 was conducted. TB strains isolated from ...
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus Continuum of Care in European Union Countries in 2013: Data and Challenges.
defined as (1) number of people living with HIV in the country by end of 2013; (2) proportion of stage 1 ever diagnosed; (3) proportion of stage 2 that ever initiated ART; and (4) proportion of stage 3 who ...
Case report of a false positive result of the Xpert(®) MTB/RIF assay for rifampicin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
its use as initial diagnostic test, over microscopy, culture and phenotypic drug susceptibility testing. Even though specificity of the Xpert(®) MTB / RIF assay version G4 is high, false positive test ...
Sample substitution can be an acceptable data-collection strategy: the case of the Belgian Health Interview Survey.
accrual rate (AR). Unweighted and weighted health estimates were calculated before and after applying substitution. RESULTS: Of the 10,468 members of 4878 initial households, 5904 members (RR ind: 56.4%) of ...

Identification of a new tert-leucinate class synthetic cannabinoid in powder and "spice-like" herbal incenses: Methyl 2-[[1-(5-fluoropentyl)indole-3-carbonyl]amino]-3,3-dimethyl-butanoate (5F-MDMB-PICA).
methanolic sample solutions could not be identified. In order to elucidate the chemical structure, a more extensive analysis of the material was initiated using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC- ...
Incorporation of the influenza A virus NA segment into virions does not require cognate non-coding sequences.
incorporation of the viral segments was tested by real-time RT- PCR. An initial virus growth deficiency correlated to a specific defect in NA segment incorporation. Upon serial passages, growth properties were ...
